Objectives: The long-term glycemic memory contributes to vascular complications in type 2 diabetes, including those patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU). We investigated whether the skin autofluorescence (SAF) of Advanced Glycation End-products related to later DFUs.
Research Design & Methods: SAF was measured with an AGE-Reader in a retrospective cohort of patients hospitalized from 2009 to 2017 for Type 2 Diabetes.
Aims: We investigated whether Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is related to Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) development, adjusted for the stratification of the International Work Group on Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) guidance.
Materials And Methods: DR and IWGDF stratification was registered retrospectively in patients hospitalised from 2009 to 2017 for uncontrolled and/or complicated type 2 diabetes. New DFUs were registered until 2020.
Objective: In hemodialysis (HD) patients, malnutrition should be diagnosed by several assessment tools including a plasma albumin concentration of less than 3.8 g/dL or 3.5 g/dL using bromocresol green or immunonephelometry (IN), respectively.

- The study investigates the connection between a significant decrease in HbA1c levels and subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with long-term uncontrolled type 2 diabetes.
- Researchers analyzed a cohort of 386 patients, focusing on those who experienced a dramatic reduction in HbA1c of more than 1.5% over four months and measured their long-term glucose exposure through skin autofluorescence (SAF).
- Results indicated that patients with higher SAF levels who had a dramatic HbA1c reduction were at increased risk of cardiovascular issues, suggesting that rapid improvements in glucose control may lead to health risks in diabetic patients.
